Save a Driver?

**NNNNN** · April 13th, 2006, 05:50 PM

Hi Everyone,
I need to move a driver for a monitor from one computer to another. Is there an easy way to do that?
Thank you,

Yes fond the manufacturer's support site and download the .inf if they use one for XP at all

There is a freeware utility which can backup your drivers. I have found it useful sometimes.

WinDriversBackup Personal Edition

Ferrit,
SO the .inf files (I did finally find those) are the drivers?
How can I tell which one is the right driver?
Also it looks like my monitor is being recognized on one of my computers as simply "Plug and Play" and that there is no specific driver. Yet on my other computer which is newer and probably more advanced, it doesn't work.

So do I need a driver or not for the monitor?

When you say it does not work do you mean no picture? Also do you have light by your on off button?

Hi XP,
Yes, the monitor is on!

It is on to start with so that when I start my computer, I see the DOS scripts (boot scripts) running and then the MS Windows splash screen and then... black with the little blue box that says "None" and something Mhz or Hz... It seems like maybe the refresh rate of my card is too fast and that theoretically I would go into Windows to change it. But I can't get to Windows... Aarrrrrrrrrgggghhhh...

I do have a laptop. I wonder if there is anyway I can easily hook my PC up to my laptop's monitor to use it as a monitor to the PC?
